Senator Al Franken announced today that he will be resigning amid sexual misconduct allegations.

"Today I am announcing that in the coming weeks I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate. This decision is not about me. It is about the people of Minnesota. It has become clear that I can’t both pursue the ethics committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator for them. Let me be clear, I may be resigning my seat, but I’m not giving up my voice. I will continue to stand up for the things I believe in," he said during a speech on the Senate floor.

He couldn't resist taking a swipe at Donald Trump and Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore and the many allegations against them while he was at it.

"I, of all people, am aware there is some irony by the fact that I am leaving [the Senate] while a man who bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party,” he said.
